if fighting for control. Gem let a touch of her power escape to soothe him.
    For one second the mystical connection worked. He relaxed, eased back into her arms. Then it was as if a totally impenetrable wall rose between them. Shaun’s wolf vanished in that moment, and all that was left was the man who stared at her with extreme hunger in his eyes.
    “It’s not the wolves’ turn, love. We’ll let them out to play later. Right now, it’s just you and me.” He lowered himself between her legs and touched her intimately with his lips. A soft caress to the inside of her leg. Another at the top of her curls.

    When he slipped a finger along her slit, she realized something important.
    “Shaun, you haven’t kissed me yet. My lips, I mean— oh …” One thick finger slid into her core as she spoke, and her question ended on a breathless sigh.
    “Soon. Trust me.” Shaun stroked in deep, the heel of his palm rubbing the apex of her sex, his finger stretching her. “You’re very tight. I don’t want to hurt you.”
    “You won’t.” Gem spoke with utter conviction. He was her mate. There was nothing a mate wanted more than to make their partner happy. Even as she wondered how they would be able to juggle their lives, and locations, her momentary concerns faded.
    He was touching her. How could she concentrate on anything but enjoying this moment?
    The steady thrust of his hand into her core notched the tingling up to overdrive as he made additional contact—his mouth. He tongued the aching nub at the apex of her mound, lapping and licking in unending sweeps until she couldn’t take it anymore. An orgasm ripped through her, shaking her, squeezing around the two fingers he’d carefully worked into her.
    Gem pulled her knees farther to the side in expectation of him rising over her. He didn’t shift position, but he kept moving all right—that talented tongue of his. She gasped for air as he stroked gentler now, forcing her to accept his touch until stars floated before her eyes. Moisture pooled around his fingers, her body loosening and wanting more.
    “That’s it, love. You’re beautiful. Really and truly. The way you taste—hmm.” Shaun lapped again, sucking on her clit, and a long, slow pulse broke through. Gem quivered on the bed, wondering if she’d be able to walk when they were done. He hadn’t stopped, but he hadn’t given her what she needed yet.
    She reached down and grabbed his hair, tugging harder as urgent desire rose. “Please. Take me, now.
    I need you inside.”
    His laughter rang out, a low rumble of amusement. “I need you too. But my wolf said to go slow.” Really stupid, bad idea . She tightened her grip and hauled him up to her level. She might be smaller than him, but she was still a wolf, and that made her strong enough to force even his bulk to change position.
    “You said to leave our wolves out of this. If I want slow, I’ll tell you.” There was a pause—only a second—as they stared into each other’s eyes. Then the world exploded as they both moved.
    He hadn’t kissed her before. Now he consumed her, feasting at her mouth as if he was starving. She returned as good as he gave, nipping and licking, her tongue tangling with his. The exhilarating flavour of her mate burst onto her taste buds, adding to the richness of her pleasure.

    They rolled together, the heat of his body pressed against her, the rigid length of his shaft nudging her thigh. Gem snuck down a hand and wrapped her fingers around him. Wide and solid and warm in all the right ways. She stroked in time with the thrusts of their tongues together, and he groaned into her mouth.
    “Gem. Oh yeah, like that. Harder. Fuck—”
    A shiver at the naughty word made her tighten her grip, and he threw back his head with a loud shout.
    She froze, fearful she’d hurt him, until reassured by his continuing enthusiastic thrusts
